Hi Pat,
During my days at the Pacific Marine Station in the 1970s, one of my
graduate students was interested in finding a suitable vital stain that
would be retained long enough to trace individual starfish (Patiria
miniata) larvae throughout their larval development from egg to
metamorphosis. He was also interested in releasing stained larvae into the
intakes of power plants for recapture at the outfall to assess potential
impacts of heat exposure on survival. Two stains, Nile Blue Sulfate and
Neutral Red were found to be retained the longest (ca. 35 days) to locate
larvae of certain batches. I also used these stains and another, Janus
Green B, in my own work with polychaete larvae. The aim of these
experiments was to be able to relocate larvae examined at earlier stages in
their development in order to assess patterns and rates of growth. The
stains did not appear to adversely affect survival.
